Answer / bala
If the query inside the program retrieves only one row, there is no need to CURSOR.
If the program has to process the multiple rows that are retrieved by the query,
CURSOR is needed. Because, host variables can accommodate data from only one row at a time. By Declaring the cursor, multiple rows can be fetched one at a time and assign it to host variables for processing.
